Abstract

Objective To investigate the hazard of red fire ants in a military unit in Guangxi and to provide basis for scientific prevention and control measures. Methods By random sampling, a total of 1903 male officers and soldiers stationed in Guangxi from June 2022 to June 2023 were selected. By means of questionnaire survey, the stinging rate, bite site and medical treatment were statistically analyzed. Results A total of 1835 valid questionnaires were collected, andthe average age of officers and soldiers was (23.20±2.75) years old. A total of 881 cases (48.01%) were stung by red fire ants, most of which occurred in training and labor.The main symptoms were skin swelling, pruritus, and anaphylactic shock occurred in 15 cases (1.70%). The diagnosis rate of red fire ant stings was 67.08%(591/881). Most of the stings were to limbs, of which 818 were to hands, accounting for 92.85%. Conclusions The incidence of red fire ant stings in Guangxi autonomous region is high, so the prevention and control of red fire ants should be strengthened.
